    Hey Budget Besties! 🎉

    We’re throwing it back to one of our fave convos on the Work Like a Mother podcast with our girl Marina! If you missed it the first time, or just need a fresh dose of budgeting wisdom and encouragement, this one’s for you.

    This episode is the perfect listen for anyone trying to get their financial act together in January (aka all of us). We talk through what it really means to reset your money mindset for the new year and how to plan for the year ahead without shame, overwhelm, or swiping your way into another stressful December.

    In this replay, we chat about:

    1. Our signature budget system that makes money feel less messy

    2. How multiple bank accounts actually make things easier (promise!)

    3. Getting your partner on board without turning it into a fight

    4. Real-life wins from our clients — like paying bills on time for the first time ever 🙌

    5. Why being bougie on a budget is the vibe for 2025

    6. Credit card payoff strategy: step one is NOT what you think

    7. Christmas savings hacks that’ll have you walking into December stress-free

    8. What it really costs to raise teens (spoiler: it’s not just shoes and snacks)

    9. Thoughts on college planning, guilt-free parenting, and raising financially-savvy kids

    Whether you're feeling stuck in survival mode or just want to tighten things up and get intentional, this episode is your reminder that you can spend, save, and thrive—all at the same time.

    Let’s adult for an afternoon, get those numbers on paper, and make a plan that actually works for your life. 💛
